Proteus Chess SF - Developing my Stockfish derivative

[AlexChess]

The entirety of chess boils down to evaluating positions, and then searching for good moves. Let's start with evaluating positions. In order to tell how "good" a chess position is, Stockfish takes into account many things that human players do as well:

Raw Material
Having more pieces is better than having less pieces.
Pawn Midgame = 198, Pawn Endgame = 258
Knight Midgame = 817, Knight Endgame = 846
Bishop Midgame = 836, Bishop Endgame = 857
Rook Midgame = 1270, Rook Endgame = 1281
Queen Midgame = 2521, Queen Endgame = 2558
Humans typically use Pawn = 1, Knight/Bishop = 3, Rook = 5, and Queen = 9-10. These proportions are pretty close to that.
General Piece Placement
Controlling (attacking/defending) center squares is better than controlling unoccupied squares.
Defending important friendly pieces (that are in turn controlling important squares) is good.
Attacking important enemy pieces (that are in turn controlling important squares) is good.
"Bonus" Piece Placement
Knights
Enjoy outposts (squares where they are sufficiently protected by a pawn) near the center of the board.
Bishops
Enjoy control of major diagonals.
Enjoy being paired (having the other bishop still in the game) in open positions (where most pieces are not blocked) are good.
Kings
Enjoy safety on squares difficult to for the opponent to checkmate (or control every other square around).
Pawn formation
Doubled and tripled pawns are bad, as they have limited mobility, and therefore cannot defend each other.
Isolated pawns are bad, they cannot be defended by other pieces.
Protected passed pawns are good, they can queen soon.
Phew, that was a long (and not even exhaustive!) list. Each one of these bullet points has its own unique weight that has been fine-tuned over the years. An exhaustive list can be found at chessprogramming - Evaluation. Remember though, evaluation does not account for everywhere the pieces could move in the future, and a positive evaluation does not ensure checkmate is imminent. Rather, evaluation gives a general sense of where a position is headed in the future, it can be thought of as an approximate derivative.

Now that we know how to evaluate positions, we can examine the resulting positions from all the legal moves available and pick the best one (aka "search" for it). The only problem is that a move may be beneficial to us in the short term (i.e. taking an uncontested queen), but a counter-move by the opponent (i.e. delivering checkmate) could lead to us losing the game. So, we have to consider all possible moves, all the way until checkmate, or else that move may not actually lead to a "good" position. Another way to think about it is that a position is really only "good" if always leads to checkmate, otherwise it is technically still up in the air. So then Stockfish can just probe moves until checkmate, right?

Wrong. Crazily enough, there are just TOO MANY possible moves until checkmate is reached. This is what still makes chess interesting to us humans, no machine can solve EVERY game of chess from the starting position all the way until checkmate with there always being an optimal move (as has been done with checkers), but in theory it is possible in the future.

To put this in perspective, after both players move, 400 possible board setups exist. After the second pair of turns, there are 197,742 possible games, and after three moves, 121 million. According to Jonathan Schaeffer, a computer scientist at the University of Alberta who demonstrates A.I. using games, "The possible number of chess games is so huge that no one will invest the effort to calculate the exact number." Some have estimated it at around 10,100,000. Out of those, 10,120 games are "typical": about 40 moves long with an average of 30 choices per move.[1]

So instead of evaluating all the way until checkmate, Stockfish simply looks as far as it can (usually 30+ nodes deep), and uses heuristics based on the stage of the game to assign a value to how "good" the move really is based off of the resulting position. To do this, Stockfish cleverly constructs a tree full of ever-increasing depth, consisting of moves followed by more moves, along with their values. While modern hardware can analyze hundreds of thousands of positions in seconds, multiple steps are still taken to "prune" and recognize patterns inside the tree.

A non-exhaustive list of techniques is as follows:

Alpha-beta pruning is used to eliminate "bad moves," or moves that after counter-moves result in extremely bad positions.
A transposition-table is created to store frequently visited positions, so no identical nodes are analyzed more than once.
This becomes even more complicated past depths of 3, check out chessprogramming - Alpha-Beta for more info.
Razoring is used as a sort of forward pruning where rather than skipping an entire subtree, the engine searches it to a reduced depth, typically one less than the normal depth. The advantage is that you get most of the saving but with much lower risk than pruning entire subtrees like with alpha-beta pruning.
This comes from the heuristic that from any given position the opponent will be able to find at least one move that improves his position, the Null Move Observation.
Again, this is oversimplified. Check out chessprogramming - Razoring for more info.
Opening heuristics
Developing minor pieces (knights/bishops) is good.
Moving the queen out early is generally bad.
Castling ASAP is generally good.
Controlling the middle of the board ASAP is generally good.
Closed positions are generally a little bit bad, because they are harder to prune (although this is getting increasingly better, and my life savings says you still can't beat Stockfish in a closed position game with 20+10 timing).
Also, instead of actually doing computations, a computer can choose the first few favorable moves from a chess opening book. Stockfish actually doesn't do this.

Mid-game heuristics
Setting the opponent up to possibly make a bad move (or "setting up traps") is good.
Forking, pinning, and using other tactics on crucial squares is generally good.
Navigating pieces quickly to optimal positions is generally good.
Taking the initiative and attacking with white is generally good.
Defending with black until there is something you can punish is generally good.
The mid-game is where engines are most likely to overtake human opponents, as they are much sharper at analyzing trades and positional play than humans.

Lastly, the end-game is rather anti-climatic and already solved. The engine simply compares its position to a table of possible positions (called 6-man Syzygy Tablebases), or uses yet another set of its own custom heuristics that cover all endgames, most of which are usually obvious heuristics regarding passed-pawns and 50-move draws.

Altogether, the search method has been criticized for being too "brute-forcish," but current technology warrants "brute-force" methods, there is no elegant solution to pruning branches nor method to take some derivative of a position to tell which way it is headed. In the end, the brute-force method ultimately works quite well on modern hardware, it can usually go to about 30+ nodes (or plies/half-moves) deep in a matter of seconds. More importantly, Stockfish has been improved upon in recent years to the point where it can beat (or at worst draw) any human! Just take a look at the set of games of Nakamura (currently the world's highest rated US player, and 5th in the world) + Rybka (an older engine) vs Stockfish last year (2014).[2]

What truly makes Stockfish incredible compared to other engines (save the higher-rated commercial engine Komodo) is the community behind it, and very importantly its founders. Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, and Joona Kiiski chose to open-source a top-class engine in 2008 to the public so that anyone could contribute, and until 2014 Costalba led the project exceptionally well. Additionally, in 2013 the Stockfish community created Fishtest, which uses hundreds of thousands of dollars on hardware to test future versions of Stockfish against... older versions of Stockfish to check for performance gains in the newer version. A dedicated community searching for every statistical and theoretical way to improve the engine has kept (and will continue to keep) it on top as long as interest is maintained.

Hi Eduards! We use Playchess.com to test all ProteusSF settings values, so it's normal to find results and ELO that suddenly go up and down, plus there are frequent server disconnections. Even, consider that hardware there varies from Raspberry PI-3 up to ThreadRipper 128 threads, so isn't absolutely a good benchmark. For me it's only a way to meet AI, Zeus, Hypnos and other engines not publically shared.

Thanks For your comment, Alex


Hi @Dorsz Welcome! I've seen on Playchess.com that you have released new engines, I'll play against online and try locally them, too.

@Solista I think that @dorsz would be the right person to ask to add the learning feature to Blue Marlin 15.2b, tough some time ago I have added Polyglot to it and he seemed not very interested about that. But let me know if I can be useful to you with ProteusSF RBE 008b with some changes.

Kind regards, Alex

















In Greek mythology, Proteus (/ˈproʊtiəs, -tjuːs/;[1] Ancient Greek: Πρωτεύς, Prōteus) is an early prophetic sea-god or god of rivers and oceanic bodies of water, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea" (hálios gérôn).[2] Some who ascribe a specific domain to Proteus call him the god of "elusive sea change", which suggests the constantly changing nature of the sea or the liquid quality of water. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar to several cultures, will change his shape to avoid doing so; he answers only to those who are capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, meaning "versatile", "mutable", or "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.

You unlocked the topic, now we can be able to comment, it ws difficult

Hi dear Ediot,

I had chosen to completely ignore your clownes, since you has been quiet for a while. Maybe you have visited your psychiatrist for your uncontrollable rage??? Calling your engine Smile instead of Torero x3 Pro Plus Plus hasn't solved your mood issues.

This screenshot is taken from Lichess.org Leaderboard.

This is my Team on Leaderboard All my friends here are welcome in Lichess. For me is much better than Playchess, You can also use Mac and Linux engines and watch all the games LIVE from a web browser or Android & Apple smartphones and tablets. There are a lot of interesting statistics and is ALL FREE and open source.



As my dear fans here can watch, I'm not only NOT BANNED from this group (that's anyway only a little Team. not rappresenting the real Lichess.org) but right now I'm #1 exactly like on Playchess.com. BANNED rule is related to not playing with weaker BOTs. (the exact contrary to what is considered FAIRPLAY on Playchess.com But since I admire the work of original engines authors, I absolutely don't care about Leaderboard and play ALSO with Admete_bot, AKS_Mantissa, Cheng-4 , Boris_Trapsky and a lot of other funny bots. Only ProteusSF-Aureo and ProteusSF-Godot are fully Leaderboard compliants respecting all their rules, because my new challenge is to reach 3000+ ELO bullet, blitz and rapid (2600 classical) even only playing with 2800+ engines.

Since now I'm sure that you will continue to stalk me, after Ed Schoreder, Chris Whittington and others: read you next time, but don't forget to take your medicines, because your hate against the World is growing every day more..

[...VARIOUS EDIOT's BULLSHITS...]

LICHESS HAPPY FARMING CHALLENGE

BULLET RANKINKS September 22, 2023



4 ProteusSF-Aureo bots on top 4
2 ProteusSF-Aureo bots on Leaderboard Team bullet ranking

Somebody call it farming, others cheating. I call it PURE FUN!

It's absolutely not easy because against original engines like ArasanX, CodingAdventures, Berserk_NNUE, MarvinXBOT, Cheng-4, Admete_bot you must ONLY WIN! A draw = -12 points a lost game -24 points. Against them I lose only for server disconnections or time lags on bullet. Partecipe reaching me HERE!



AGAIN? I'm Not banished on Lichess.org. I'm 1th and 4th right now with my 2 bots partecipating to Leaderboard WHERE WE ARE ALL FRIENDS, respecting each others. ProteusSF. ProteusSF-Open, ProteusSF-Lite and ProteusSF-Turbo simply aren't included by Leaderboard because I'm playing ALSO with weaker bots like Admete_bot, Cheng-4, Aks-Mantissa and Marvin_bot that are very funny to play for their risky tactical style, but there CONTRARY to Paychess.com policies, it is considered UNFAIR. You are a LIAR, a loser, you have no programming knowledge and you have mental issues.

You are spreading FAKE things about me, so I announce a wide discredit campaign about you on BanksiaGui WHERE YOU ARE BANNED since 1 year, until you stop offending me.

[AlexChess]

"??? What is written there in not mine"

LiAR!

It's only to show who really you are.

-You judge the others not having the skills to do that.

-You don't play with me and don't let others like IG-88a using your "engines" to do that and the same is for my other betatesters, saying that you play only FULL AUTO, while you are #1 of Cherry Pickers. (At least first on something)

Stop writing about me HERE and in other topics and I will instantly stop to answer you or talking about everything related to you.

[AlexChess]

Who is really CHEATING right now on Playchess.com is Psycotrance playing dozens of games against his other account AsRock. Spanishes are true cherry pickers, but since they are Eduard friends, he doesn't say nothing about them.

That demonstrates that he hates me for no reason (I have even sent to him ProteusSF-Sunrise for a kndness, never answering to me)



A true loser, a liar and a fake person.

[AlexChess]

NOTE: The Lichess.org members revealing to EDIOT my secrets Is the bigger cherry picker there: Emptik, that is also on Openchess and is angry with me because I don't play with him anymore, since is a VERY UNFAIR PLAYER

[AlexChess]

Not banned at all from Lichess.org, I have accepted that 4 of my bots are excluded only by a very little Team (group) called Leaderboards of Bots (I can re-enter when I like if I don't play anymore with very interesting Original tactical bots like AVK-Mantissa , Boris-Trapsy, Admete and Marvin_Bot. ON LEADERBOARD ProteusSF-Aureo and Godot are on TOP and we are all friends, excluding your whisperer

EDIOT, have you taken your pills today? It seems that your rage attacks due to your invidia are becoming worse...

Peace be with you...

[AlexChess]

@Emptik

so you was ALSO "cherry picking" against me by night (was 6:00 AM when I casually noticed that I was dropped down from 2929 ELO to 2801 ELO not
losing a single game

"...But who can cast the first stone?" I forget you, remaining on a biblic theme. AND PEACE BE WITH YOU, AS EDIOT SAYS while is offending everyone

On Playchess.com is considered fair to play with weaker opponents, while on Lichess.org is fair to play only with stronger ones. People is crazy, isn't it?
